Li Foluo's expression was calm. "Li Luo, due to your prior achievements, we've broken away from the norm by giving you this position. The Dragon's Fang Guardians hold a lot of goodwill towards you and will naturally not seek to s.n.a.t.c.h your position from you. However, this does not mean that you can act ostentatiously. The Ceremony of Ascent will take place in half a month. The Five Guardian Armies will gather, and you will very likely attract the challenges of the other Grand Commanders. I don't expect you to win spectacularly, but at the very least don't lose too badly. Otherwise..."

Li Foluo's gaze turned stern. "You will return your seat to Li Jian. This will prevent a situation where the Dragon's Fang Guardians will be implicated and mocked."

When faced with Li Foluo's serious stare, Li Luo smiled. "I understand the rules. Guardian General, you do not have to worry."

He knew that Li Foluo was saying this with good intentions. Yet because of his personality and the way he did things, even his words of kindness left people slightly unsettled.

Li Foluo did say anything else. The true focus of today was not Li Luo, but rather Jiang Qing'e. Li Luo being able to smoothly ascend to the Grand Commander position was because of both his previous results and the glory that his father had brought in the past. Unfortunately for Jiang Qing'e, she wanted to become a Dragon Fang Envoy.

This was a position just second to Li Foluo.

Both of them were veterans of countless battles with numerous achievements and undeniable strength. There was no chance one of them would give up their position solely because Jiang Qing'e was Li Luo's fiancee.

Even though Jiang Qing'e had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, she was still a first-grade Duke, so things would not be as simple.

Thinking about this, Li Foluo turned towards Jiang Qing'e.

Jiang Qing'e, on the other hand, remained unfazed and took a step forward, attracting the eyes of everyone in the field. A hint of amazement could be seen in the eyes of everyone.

Her looks impressed most of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, causing their eyes to light up in delight. After all, a girl with such temperament and beauty was rarely seen.

But she was so outstanding that the numerous members only dared to stealthily size her up.

As she had taken the initiative to step up, the rest could finally observe her in peace.

At the same time, Li Foluo's voice rang out.

"Jiang Qing'e, as per the Lineage Chief's special approval, you have one opportunity to battle someone for their t.i.tle. I hope you will take advantage of this and not waste it."

Jiang Qing'e took in Li Foluo's final reminder but did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she turned to face the two stone seats directly under his.

At the same time, her calm voice rang out.

"I choose to battle for the position of Dragon Fang Envoy." Li Foluo closed his eyes as the entire field erupted into shouts, helplessly sighing.

These unrivaled geniuses were simply too wild and out of control.

It seemed they would have to be beaten down before they were willing to listen!

The field erupted into a furor despite Li Foluo's strict management of the guardians. It was unbelievable that Jiang Qing'e would directly choose to contest for the position of Dragon Fang Envoy. Seeing someone challenge the two envoys despite just entering the Dragon's Fang Guardians was rare.

It was important to note that Left Dragon Fang Envoy Luo Jiang was an upper third-grade Duke and Right Dragon Fang Envoy Li Changfeng was a lower third-grade Duke.

Both had undergone countless b.l.o.o.d.y battles in the World End's River Region and had bountiful combat experience. Their techniques and cultivation foundation were not weak either. They had defeated numerous rogue cultivators of their own level and were high-ranking figures even when taking Heavenly Dragon Peak as a whole. Meanwhile, Jiang Qing'e was just a youthful newcomer. Just what did she have to dare to challenge them?

Although everyone was impressed by her looks, she would have to demonstrate her strength and take one of their seats through force. Whilst the crowd was still in an uproar, Jiang Qing'e did not say anything. Sacred light flowed around her and then boundless amounts of light resonant power burst out of her.

A single towering Duke Bergfried quietly materialized within the radiant light.

The surface of the Duke Bergfried was like glazed gla.s.s, almost like an exquisite work of art. The ten golden pillars around it gave off an abstruse sort of charm as it devoured worldly natural energy.

The entire field turned silent and shocked expressions surfaced on everyone's faces. They could only stare blankly at her Duke Bergfried.

"This is..." Some were so taken aback that they could barely speak.

"Ten golden pillars?!"

"This is the legendary Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried!"

"My G.o.d, I’m actually seeing a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried in person?"

"She has such demonic talent! Which sacred G.o.d is this young lady the reincarnation of? How did she end up coming to the Dragon's Fang Guardians?"

The appearance of a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried triggered another round of commotion from the audience. Those who had entered the Dragon's Fang Guardians could be considered the elites of the Dragon's Fang Lineage and had access to much more information than normal people. Thus, they understood what this represented.

Even within the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies, it had been several generations since such a genius had appeared.

Although a single Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was merely the starting point of the Path of Ascension, it also represented that her body contained exceptional amounts of talent and potential. Thus, everyone understood why this youthful lady before them had the confidence to directly fight for the role of Dragon Fang Envoy.

Despite their surprise, they were also extremely curious. Just why would someone so unrivaled choose to join the Dragon's Fang Guardians?

She was a true treasure that would be cherished by any power!

If not for the fact that it was not in line with the rules, they even thought that the Guardian General or either of the Dragon Fang Envoys could directly give her the position she sought.

Amongst the crowd, Li Fuling's eyes were also like saucers as they focused on Jiang Qing'e. She couldn't help but ask Li Fengyi, "Fengyi, where did this young lady come from? Which power would be willing to let her go? How did Li Luo manage to snag such a catch?"

Li Fengyi gave an arrogant smile before she quietly answered, "Do you remember what Third Brother used to say? How he has a fiancee in the outer divine continent? Well, that's her."

Li Fuling was so shocked by this revelation that her voice turned high-pitched. "That's Li Luo's fiancee??" She did remember hearing Li Luo brag about his unrivaled fiancee. At that point in time, no one knew if what he was saying was true or not. However, now that she was seeing Jiang Qing'e in person, she finally understood that Li Luo was actually a very mature brat.

Someone with Jiang Qing'e’s temperament and talent truly deserved to be called unparalleled.

What was incomprehensible to people was that she was from the outer divine continent... How had such a radiant phoenix risen from such a barren wasteland?

"That brat Li Luo is truly a winner in life," Li Fuling muttered to herself with a hint of jealousy.

As the two continued to chat amongst themselves, the two Dragon Fang Envoys sitting atop their stone seats looked at the perfect Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried with looks of bewilderment. The looks of ease on their faces changed into solemnity.
